      When wheat hits to top grade and top protein and the yield has a 7 at the beginning and you sell for over 7 that is the most profitable crop hands down.

      Also looking and scouting fields and understanding rain and dew and wet crop canopy and deciding after a 1000 acres that fungicide wasn't needed this year and total savings makes wheat the winner.

      The seed was purchased by certified on a quarter every year and that is used for seed stock on all acres if it makes my specifications of a good crop. Lots of fluff out there and seed companies all say its 10% better. than old variety every year so at this rate, we should be at 200 before I retire. HAHHAHAHAHA

      Canola is an expensive crop to grow. The Trudeau shit show and trump and China trade war that we Canadians should be smiling and taking advantage over with Canola yet prices just stay at one lever even if our dollar has it at 12.

      So thank a liberal for all the shit show going on in Canada.

      Oats at 165 x 3.75 for next fall is $618.00 hm makes me think oats will be back in cards.

      Peas are a shit show and they won't be back any time soon.

      Food guide to make us all vegan I hate and will still eat beef. Oh, it's so F#$King Good.

        We can grow peas for under $100 /ac inputs (just leave the odysee and viper at the store) and it wont ne a shit show
        When yield has a 7 or 8 in front of it and sell for $6.75-$7.25(so far) thats top payer hands down
        Wheat costs us at least $250 inputs

          Had one neighbour tell me the best profit on his farm would have been not starting the tractor at seeding.

            FCC told me the biggest profit on my farm is calling up the local BTO and then going to the Walmart hiring desk.

              Lamb by country miles
              Fenced pasture
              Hay Produces the lamb, so...
              Oats
              Flax


              Third year in a row not growing canola. ZERO regrets. ZERO clubroot.

                Looks like alfalfa seed didn't even make the list this year. Kind of depressing punching out bees that no one will buy!

                  That makes perfect sense with what land rents for around here!

                    Damn limited on what pays the rent around here.
                    Given the offbeat year we had weather wise for 18.
                    Green peas, Hard red, CPS, malt, canola.

                    Usually peas, canola, wheat/malt.
                    No malt planned for 19. Inventory too controlled. Sound familiar?

                      If I was younger my whole farm would be sheep and some cattle
